Year-end 2025-26 guidance
Published: 03 February 2026
The financial year-end is the final date of a 12-month accounting period IPSA uses to prepare financial statements to lay before Parliament and provide assurance that taxpayers’ money has been spent properly. It is essentially ‘closing the books’, the process of reviewing, reconciling and verifying that all financial transactions from the last financial year add up.
Once the process is complete, we will provide you with accurate spend data and budget information for 2025/26. This is a key step in preparing the data we use when we publish your annual business costs data.
The 2025/26 financial year runs from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026.
